Two pieces of advice:
1. Your city's occupancy code will dictate the maximum number of people allowed to occupy a dwelling of specific size/configuration.
2. My friend spent a couple of years fostering children; most were maladjusted as you would expect from a child in that situation and she endured a variety of property damage to her home as a result, including a fire from a child lighting matches and a carpet damaged from a child urinating repeatedly in a closet. Fostering comes with a paycheck which may motivate the "parents", rather than care and concern about the child.
